Due to the FC6 installation bug the first kernel-devel package
installed on your system was for i586. Installing/upgrading to the
i686 kernel does not automatically change the architecture for
kernel-devel. You need to manually uninstall kernel-devel. You can
then use your favorite package manager to install kernel-devel.
